SYNOPSIS

“ENRON already looks like the play that all the others will have to beat at this year’s theatre awards.”
Daily Telegraph

Following two sold out runs in Chichester and at the Royal Court in London, ENRON is now booking for the West End run of the production.

Inspired by real-life events, and using music, movement and video, ENRON is directed by Headlong Theatre's Artistic Director Rupert Goold. ENRON’s author, Lucy Prebble, won the George Devine Award and the Critics Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright for her debut play The Sugar Syndrome at the Royal Court in 2004.

One of the most infamous scandals in financial history becomes a theatrical epic in Lucy Prebble’s groundbreaking play ENRON. Mixing classic tragedy with savage comedy, it follows a group of flawed men and women in a narrative of greed and loss which reviews the tumultuous 1990’s and casts a new light on the financial turmoil in which the world finds itself in 2009.

Matthew Byam Shaw, Act, Caro Newling for Neal St Productions, Jeffrey Richards and Jerry Frankel present a Headlong, Chichester Festival Theatre and Royal Court Theatre production

Supported by Hawes and Curtis
